Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

judytex This movie might be a bit too authentic for some viewers, judging from some reviews criticizing it as slow and/or boring. For the time and place the setting and characters seem very realistic, although may seem dull when viewing from 2018. Dialogue was simple and plain with no speeches or quotables, and the acting was painfully believable. The story played out slowly without any extremes in action. I found it fascinating and compelling because of the pace and realism. The true story is an historic and remarkable victory for civil rights, without embellishment. A goof: Mrs. Loving set her table with Corelle dinnerware in 1967, although Corelle wasn't introduced until 1970.

grdrddd10092 "Loving" (2016) depicts the true events of the 1960's interracial marriage problem, a story told from the perspective of the couple that decided to bend the laws of the state of Virginia and try to form a family under the name and emotion of "Loving". The couple, formed of a white male and a skin colored female, underwent time in jail and racial discrimination, until a sentence from the local jury was settled. That is, to leave the state that they grew up in, their home, for 25 years. Interracial marriage being seen in the society of that time as being a shameful act towards the families of the couple and disrespectful towards society was a punishable offence. The "Loving" family later will have the chance to retaliate in their fight for human rights along with the coincidental movement of Martin Luther King. The "Loving" marriage case will later receive national attention and it will go down in history as the case with the potential to change the constitution of the USA. ... phew, done with the story synopsis."Loving" is an expertly made film, that captured both the humanity of the characters and the strangled struggle that they (the couple) goes trough for the freedom of self-expression, within a grounded and realistic lens. Heartwarming, subtle and simple are the key ingredients that were mixed together in order for this film to have impact. It is slow-paced as one might expect from one such genre, but it strikes true by making you care about the characters. Let's talk about Richard Loving/Joel Edgerton, one pf the two main characters of this piece, who accompanied by Mildred Loving/ Ruth Negga form a duo that just works. They have affectionate responses towards each other and, when alone in a scene, shine with brilliancy. They manage to show a intimate connection that is appreciated but sadly appears in no more than 5 scenes.Easily, the pest part of the movie has to be the beginning, the first 30 seconds or so ( and oh so beautifully constructed) that are taken to introduce first Character, the problem or motive (let's call it link), and Character. This is a great set up for the 1 h 59 min left that explore their lives, situation and love.Usually the context in which characters are placed affect their personality, in the case of the Loving family this is very prominent. Pity hits you like a truck when Richard cares so much for his wife, wants to protect her but can do nothing simply because he knows how to build houses, not defense cases. These characters are cast away from their micro-universe (the small village that to them means the world) and thrown into an unknown world. A world in which their family has a hard time evolving. They are made to choose between a rock and a hard place. Either their love is revoked or their integrity as a family is compromised in the city. Thus we have them choosing neither and deciding to fight against an unfair system.All in all, this is a strong piece of art in a genre that is plagued by repetitiveness. Loving manages to stand clear of the boring parts and delivers a cry for humanity that everyone can answer and relate to one way or another. These people were less wrong than the rest in a stereotypical 1960s world. Probably i have yet to learn to love Loving in order to appreciate it at its fullest , this is hy I refrain from giving a rating but i can safely say that this film takes its time to reach your heart, but only so.

DeeDee This movie is so busy trying to create a message and an emotion, that it misses the fact that this is based on a true story, so there's no need for Hollywood to create that. The scenes are choppy and don't lead to anything significant most of the time. They did do a commendable job of casting the lead character's to favor the real Mr. and Mrs. Loving. But, could have done a better job of finding biracial children to fit the characteristics of the Loving children. I also feel that this movie portrays Richard Loving's mother as being against her son marrying a "Colored" woman. However, in the HBO documentary "The Loving Story", his mother in clear in her approval of this marriage. And speaking of the documentary, I suggest that anyone wanting to know the true story and struggles of the Loving family, should watch it instead of this movie. There is no chemistry between the character's or with us FOR the character's in this movie. Watching this movie did nothing for me except make me want to re-watch the actual documentary.

jb_campo Loving is a tough and frustrating film. Richard and Mildred are an interracial couple in the 1950's who decide to get married. The story goes downhill from there.The outright hatred for the couple by the whites is palpable. The blacks also wonder why the white guy would go this way. The marriage brings a lot of legal trouble their way because interracial marriage was not quite legal in Virginia at that time.The couple endures years, decades of abuse. The actors do a great job of showing that the couple's only options were basically to shut up and take abuse after abuse that in today's world is unimaginable. The movie would have benefited from more details about how the couple met and got to the point where the movie started. It seems that Richard's Mom never really thought it was a good idea, so more development of that angle would have been great. All told, it's a solid, frustrating film because of the story. It's a social shame that this was how society treated non-whites at this time. It's really just hard to believe. Good story. Enjoy.
